Even a hard right-winger thinks the teabaggers are crazy and bigoted and around the bend:
Instead, he remarks, his party turned toward demagoguery. Inglis lists the examples: falsely claiming Obama's health care overhaul included "death panels," raising questions about Obama's birthplace, calling the president a socialist, and maintaining that the Community Reinvestment Act was a major factor of the financial meltdown. "CRA," Inglis says, "has been around for decades. How could it suddenly create this problem? You see how that has other things worked into it?" Racism? "Yes," Inglis says.(h/t metulj on KnoxViews)

Considering this guy just got burned by the tea party for not being hard right enough (whatever that means), I wouldn't consider him very reliable.
Huh? Did you read the story? This guy was the previous fringe, and now he's not conservative enough. The Teapublicans are racing off the cliff, and they want to take America with them. Even Inglis can see that.
They're racing over the cliff according to him...
I think you missed my point. I was saying that this guy wasn't a very reliable source, not that the tea parties aren't over the cliff. Maybe they are...
Judge him by his reasoning, not by his motives. You can tease the two apart, after all. If you can't, there's no one in the world you can listen to - except you might be fooled into listening to those who falsely claim they have no point of view.
...and on what is his supposed reasoning based? His version of the facts. As I said, not the most reliable source in the world.
So pick out something and show that he's wrong. His reasoning about the CRA, for example...
